According to JB, "In the Shape of a Heart" reflects his feelings about the passing of Phyllis Major, his wife, who died of a drug overdose in March 1976.

I never ever heard this song and I love Jackson Browne! GREAT song. Such an amazing singer/songwriter! We are lucky to have him.

One of the best singer songwriters of the 70s . I still think the Eagles stole Take It Easy from Jackson it was such a huge hit and Jackson wrote it and later recorded it. If anyone deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice it is this man. Awesome music 100 years from now he is a big part of rock history. He did the world such a big favor by singing some of his songs and not standing in the shadows and letting other bands take all the credit and all the glory that goes with these outstanding songs. He is definitely one of my favorite rock artists of all time and forever.

So my generation doesn't know of Jackson...im a 1983 baby but He's my absolute favorite. Was playing pool the other night.. live artist (1guy but he was good..chris stapleton type.) was playing 'take it easy' and said it was eagles after. I asked if he'd take requests. Said yes, "OK can you play doctor my eyes? You do know what you just played was a jackson Browne song, right?: He said," who?" Lol also sad.

This song is such sweet deception. There's this catchy, stylish, pop-fortyish, uptempo music with a great dance-friendly rhythm - steady drums, cool bass line, sizzling (but not searing) lead guitar... And then, those lyrics... Those dig-right-down-into-your-chest-and-expose-your-heart lyrics. Words that are the antithesis of the bright-and-cheerful music. Words that paint this beautiful, poignant, pain-drenched picture of a life and a love that were lost. What rare artistry...

This still gives me chills. I lived thru a relationship just like this. I cant believe i survived it. The emotional twist between two people can sometimes just not be fixable. Thirty years later i am grateful i learned from it, appreciated the love we created and was able to move on without him.

A break up. The album was released while he was out of town. He knew I wouldn’t be there when he came back. On the stand beside the bed I left a bracelet with a pendent in the shape of a heart and this song cued up on the cassette tape. No hate or hurt. Just sadness that it was gone. The song helped - a lot.
